Even those who understand the significance of the House Intelligence Committee’s memo have been telling President Trump through the media that he must not fire Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein or Special Counsel Robert Mueller. This, they say, would only make things worse. Democrats would cry foul with more ferocity than they’ve ever cried about anything. You wouldn’t be able ...

It was interesting to see Rep. Adam Schiff accuse Republicans of deploying a strategy common to criminal defense attorneys on Thursday, telling the public that when a defendant has no escape from the facts, he turns things around to put the government on trial. While this may be a tried-and-true strategy, Schiff’s complaint ignores the fact that no one in ...

Has there ever been a more pathetic, shameful display of childish defiance than what we saw from the Democrat side of the aisle on Tuesday night? While President Donald Trump was delivering a blockbuster State of the Union address – one of the best in ages, by the way – that called for bipartisanship, unity, and a “new American moment,” ...

It could be said that the 2016 election was conservative America’s warning to the Republican Party: It’s time for you guys to either grow a spine or get the hell out of Washington. Judging by the actions of the House Intelligence Committee this week, at least a few Republicans seem to have gotten the message. The Committee, chaired by Rep. ...

As chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, ...

The word “treason” has been thrown around rather loosely over the last year or two, so we’re not going to add another log to that particular bonfire, but damn if former Secretary of State John Kerry wasn’t flirting with it. The meddlesome crank, responsible for one of the worst deals in the history of the United States – the Iran ...

The Democratic Party has been on a long, painful slide to the extreme left of politics for the last eight years and at least one elected official has seen enough. In announcing that he will run for re-election in his home state of West Virginia this year, Sen. Joe Manchin – beyond dispute the most conservative, levelheaded Democrat in the ...

According to House Republicans who have reviewed a new batch of anti-Trump text messages exchanged by the FBI’s Gruesome Twosome, Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, the two disgraced officials actually talked about convening a “secret society” of opposition FBI agents the day after Trump’s election. While the new batch of texts have not yet leaked in full to the media, ...

In an address to the Israeli parliament on Monday, Vice President Mike Pence set a firm timeline on when the United States would move its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, putting concrete plans behind President Trump’s announcement that the U.S. now officially recognized the city as Israel’s true capital. “In the weeks ahead, our administration will advance its plan ...
